Cabo Fishing Report

September 3, 2023 – 1 Marlin Released

35′ Riviera Blue Water | Captain Oscar | 5 Hours Fished

Alexander, Eva, Emily, Alejandro and Teresa traveled from New York for a five-hour family trip with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours aboard the 35′ Riviera Blue Water. The group ranged from 11-year-old Alejandro to 78-year-old Teresa, giving Captain Oscar and the crew three generations of guests to introduce to a morning of Cabo offshore fishing.

Blue Water departed at 7:00 AM and fished until noon. The trip ultimately produced one marlin, which was released in keeping with Blue Sky Cabo’s billfish conservation practices.

September Cabo Fishing Conditions Shape the Offshore Report

September’s warm offshore water gave the crew a good environment for targeting pelagic species.

Five hours also provided enough time to establish a trolling program, search changing water and remain ready when a billfish finally appeared.

For a family spanning several generations, the morning offered something different from a conventional resort excursion.

Three Generations Share a Cabo Charter Fishing Experience

Alejandro was only 11. Teresa was 78.

Between them were Alexander, Eva and Emily, creating a group with very different levels of experience and expectations.

That diversity is where a professional crew matters.

The 35′ Riviera Blue Water provides a manageable offshore platform while Captain Oscar and the crew can adjust their approach to the passengers aboard. Younger guests need clear instruction and a safe working environment. Older guests may value comfort and assistance just as much as the fishing itself.

For this New York family, the morning eventually delivered Cabo’s signature offshore species.

A marlin entered the action.

Marlin Encounter Creates a Cabo Sportfishing Catch

A marlin changes everything aboard a boat.

The fish’s size, acceleration and ability to become airborne create a completely different challenge from smaller pelagic species.

Once connected, the crew’s focus shifts immediately to managing the fight, positioning the boat and keeping the angler connected.

Blue Water’s crew successfully brought the encounter to completion before releasing the marlin.

Highlights from the morning included:

• One marlin successfully caught and released.
• Five family members shared the charter.
• The group ranged from age 11 to 78.
• Captain Oscar ran the five-hour trip.

The release meant the fish could return to Cabo’s offshore ecosystem after providing the family with the signature moment of their morning.

Responsible Release Defines the Cabo Fishing Charter

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours releases marlin.

For billfish, the experience is the fight, the encounter alongside the boat and the successful release—not bringing the fish back to the dock.

That conservation approach is particularly meaningful when younger guests are aboard.

Alejandro had the opportunity to see that catching a major game fish and protecting it are not conflicting goals. An angler can experience the excitement of a marlin while still allowing that fish to return to the ocean.

For a multigenerational family, that becomes part of the story.

Five Hours Produces a Memorable Cabo Charter Report

Blue Water’s 7:00 AM departure was slightly later than many early Cabo fishing starts, but the five-hour window still provided a complete morning offshore.

Captain Oscar and the crew had until noon to find the right opportunity.

They found it.

The final count was one marlin, but billfish are not measured the same way as schooling species. A single marlin can dominate an entire charter because of the time, excitement and teamwork involved in completing the fight.

For Alexander, Eva, Emily, Alejandro and Teresa, one fish became the centerpiece of their family morning.

Final Cabo Catch Numbers Complete the Fishing Report

From an 11-year-old guest to a 78-year-old family member, three generations shared the experience aboard Blue Water.

The official result was one marlin caught and released. The larger result was a New York family experiencing one of Cabo’s most iconic game fish together.
